Jim Harbaugh Offers Scholarship to Seventh-Grade QB in Michigan

Seventh-grade quarterback Isaiah Marshall received a scholarship offer from Jim Harbaugh on Tuesday to play football at Michigan, according to ESPN.

Harbaugh visited Southfield High to scout football prospects and ended up watching tape of Isaiah. The 13-year-old's father, Brian, coaches running backs at Southfield and his uncle, Aaron, is the program's offensive coordinator. Harbaugh called Brian to extend the scholarship offer to his son.
